Christian Atsu pays admission fee of University student

The dream of 17-year-old Abdul Hamid Ibrahim to become a mining engineer
has come alive after Black Stars and Newcastle midfielder, Christian
Atsu paid his university admission fees.

Hamid, from the mining town of Obuasi in the Ashanti region of Ghana
had 7A’s in his West African Senior Secondary Certificate
Examination,WASSCE, but because his mother, Hajaratu Osman invested her
savings with one of Ghana’s ailing banks, there was no way the young man
could have achieved his dreams, as all efforts by the mother to
retrieve her money had proven futile.

After hearing of the CCF Educational Support Scholarship which has
Christian Atsu as a sponsor, Abdul Hamid and his mother rushed to Accra
to access the scholarship.

The young man was full of joy as he received the scholarship and money
to return to Obuasi to prepare for school. “I am highly grateful to
Christian Atsu for his support. Without him, I was going to stay at
home”, the teary young man told crimecheckghana

His mother was full of joy, “may God bless Christian Atsu and give him
more football playing years. He has brought hope to my son”

The CCF Educational Support Scholarship targets brilliant but needy
students in Ghana who cannot make it to the university because of
financial difficulties.
